I am very sorry to hear about Nelson. My Cocker Spaniel (Ben) died in May of this year too.
2007 was stressful. . .life changing. . .somwhere between good and bad I suppose:
My mom has cancer (treatable, but not survivable I am told)
My significant other's mom has cancer (doing great)
His brother is doing his second one year stint in Iraq (second in three years that is)
My boyfriend was promoted to LtCol (USAF reserves) and most "space weenies" don't end up in Iraq which I am thankful for
I quit my job and kissed my career goodbye
I spent the majority of the year away from home on business travel
We adopted two abused puppies and we are quite proud that we have earned their trust and have given them a safe and happy home (pics are here
http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1960204)
My dependence on "Zantac cocktails" has increased (Zantac and Prilosec to curb stomach pain)
I bought a new car
None of my luggage got lost or looted for once and layovers were few and far between (wooo hoooo!)
Yup, this is one stressed out household--but, we're managing. It could be a lot worse. We still wake up happy and laugh a lot and that keeps us looking forward to 2008. Maybe now that I don't work, I can go back to school.
Answer originally posted in response to 2007-How was it for you? Same answer I gave here http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1951999

So sorry about your loss :( Glad FiFi is a sweetie pie. Jim had shoulder surgery in March for a rotator cuff tear and he is fine now. We moved (after 20 years) to a new place (to us) and have been here 6 weeks. We love it. My son (who lives in Honolulu) is going to visit with us for one day and night before he goes back home. We had a very good year and look forward to another one..and hope it is, in fact, better for everyone! :)
